Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm water
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 unit Large egg
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 3.5 cups Bread flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant or bread machine yeast
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds (optional for topping)
- 1 unit Egg yolk (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Water (for egg wash)
Instructions
Add warm water, milk, softened butter, egg, sugar, and salt to the bread machine pan, in that order.
Add bread flour on top of the wet ingredients, ensuring it covers them completely.
Make a small well in the center of the flour (but not deep enough to reach the wet ingredients) and add the yeast to this well.
Set your bread machine to the 'dough' cycle and start the machine. This cycle usually takes about 90 minutes and includes mixing, kneading, and the first rise.
Once the dough cycle is complete, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide it evenly into 8 portions and shape each portion into a ball. Flatten the balls slightly to form bun shapes.
Place the shaped buns onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Cover them loosely with a clean kitchen towel and allow them to rise for another 20-30 minutes, or until they've doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and water to create the egg wash. Gently brush the tops of the buns with the egg wash. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown on top.
Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving or slicing.
